A security vulnerability has been identified in Claude Code where subagents spawned through the Agent tool do not inherit the parent agent's disallowed tools. This means a tool explicitly blocked by the parent agent can still be executed by the subagent, potentially leading to unintended data modification, credential breaches, or inaccurate audit trails. Developers are advised to explicitly configure tool permissions for each subagent rather than relying on inherited deny lists and to implement external guardrails for critical operations. AI
